Approaches have been made to the High Court for the Special Organised Crime Unit to access to the bank accounts of many people as part of a money laundering investigation.

Head of the Special Organized Crime Unit (SOCU) Lt. Colonel Sydney James’ comments came in the wake of the PPP weekly press conference. PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee had told reporters at the press conference that the coalition government had approached the Courts for warrants to not only probe ex- Ministers’ bank accounts, but also to conduct searches at their respective residences.  When asked to reveal who were the PPP members that were involved, Rohee demurred, claiming that he did not know the names.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo: kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
